A method and system for implementing a global name space service. The method may include receiving a file system unique identifier corresponding to a particular file and a human-readable name corresponding to the same file. The method may further include binding the human-readable name to the file system unique identifier, thereby creating a mapping between the human-readable name and the file system unique identifier. The system may include a processor coupled to a memory and to a global name space service manager. The global name space service manager may be configured to receive a file system unique identifier corresponding to a particular file and a human-readable name corresponding to the same file. The global name space service manager may be further configured to bind the human-readable name to the file system unique identifier, thereby creating a mapping between the human-readable name and the file system unique identifier.

A method, system, computer-readable storage medium and apparatus for balanced and consistent placement of resource management responsibilities within a multi-computer environment, such as a cluster, that are both scalable and make efficient use of cluster resources are provided. Embodiments reduce the time that a cluster is unavailable due to redistribution of resource management responsibilities by reducing the amount of redistribution of those responsibilities among the surviving cluster members. Embodiments further provide redistribution of resource management responsibilities based upon relative capabilities of the remaining cluster nodes.

A system and method related for performing lookup operations for objects distributed among different nodes in a peer-to-peer network are disclosed. Various nodes in the peer-to-peer network may store objects. Objects stored on a given node may be accessed by other nodes in the peer-to-peer network. To access an object, a node may first perform a lookup operation to determine where the object is stored, i. e. , to determine which node in the peer-to-peer network stores the object. The peer-to-peer network may utilize a method to improve the performance of object lookup operations. In one embodiment, the method may allow object lookup operations to be performed with a latency on the order of one hop.

A SYStem COMmunication interface (SYSCOM) unit provides uniform communication between hardware and software units of a computer system. The computer units include Central Processing Units (CPU's), Input/Output Processors (IOP's), Service Processor (SVP), and Control State Software (CSSW) which runs on the CPU's operating in Control State. The SYSCOM communication interface includes signalling hardware, control blocks in storage, and a uniform communication method used for communication between the computer units. The communication method sends messages between an originating unit (ORG. U) and one or more destination unit(s) [DES. U(s)].

The invention enables extension of the useful life of a chemical bath used to process a substrate. The invention can employ an improved rinsing method that removes defects from a substrate with sufficient effectiveness to obtain acceptable defect levels even as the quality (e. g. , composition and/or contaminant level) of the chemical bath degrades over time such that substrates that are immersed in the bath accumulate more defects than can be adequately removed by previous rinsing methods. For example, the invention can enable a stagnant chemical bath to be used for a period greater than 24 hours without replacing the bath fluid. Similarly, it is expected that use of the invention can enable a recirculated chemical bath to be used for a period greater than 48 hours without replacing the bath fluid. In particular, the invention can advantageously enable a chemical bath to be used continuously for such extended periods of time, thus reducing the costs associated with stopping use of a chemical bath (to replace the bath fluid or for any other reason). The invention can be used with chemical baths of any of a variety of fluids, including both liquid and gas baths.

A system that employs virtual addressing for structures in a coupling facility. The system operates to share data among two or more processes that execute on central processing complexes. The central processing complexes each have an inter-system channel connected to a coupling facility. The coupling facilitcludes coupling facility receivers where each receiver connects to one of the inter-system channels for making transfers between the coupling facility and the central processing complexes. The coupling facility includes storage, connected to the coupling facility receivers, for storing control objects and data objects at real addresses in one or more structures, where the real address are translatable from corresponding virtual addresses. The coupling facility includes CPUs, connected to the coupling facility receivers and to the storage, for controlling the operation of the coupling facility. Each of the CPUs includes a dynamic address translator for translating the virtual addresses to the real addresses.
